    Learner collaborates with MIT peers to develop book of AI insights

    Prabha Jha, an MBA-holder who works at Verizon, enrolled in MIT xPRO's AI for Senior Executives program and, after an unexpected hospital stay led her to join a later cohort, co-wrote "The AI Anthology" with 20 other leaders. The collection of essays examines AI's influence across industries and society, and Jha credits peer interactions for much of her learning.

    Game Boy Color on My Conference Badge

    At GitHub Universe, the conference badge is a full color-screen computer, and Steve Francia used Gemini to get a full NES emulator running on it and then deployed emulators for both the Game Boy and Game Boy Color. With a ROM, you can run The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on the badge. The badge can be turned upside down to use game controller touch buttons built into its body.

    Solid-state transformers could help power the AI boom

    Solid-state transformers combine magnetic components with high-power semiconductors, making them more compact and controllable than conventional transformers, though they cannot yet replace the largest high-voltage units. In August, the New York Power Authority and EPRI tested a one-megawatt solid-state transformer built in Srdjan Lukic's lab at about 98% efficiency, versus roughly 96% for an equivalent conventional transformer and rectifier. Companies like Heron Power, which raised $140 million in February, are initially targeting data centers, while high-voltage devices for transmission remain a future goal.

    At New York Climate Week 2026, MIT connects with a global network

    MIT had a strong cross-campus presence at Climate Week NYC, held Sept. 21-27, including Evelyn Wang speaking at the opening ceremony on AI and the climate equation, an event co-hosted with the Bezos Earth Fund on climate innovation, and 14 sessions organized by the MIT Climate Project and eight MIT departments, labs, centers, and initiatives. Sessions at the Dream Downtown Hotel drew more than 700 attendees and covered topics including data centers, super pollutants, supply chain sustainability, flood resilience, and industrial decarbonization. Wang said Climate Week convenes the stakeholders and sectors that must work together, and that connecting MIT with this global network strengthens both MIT's efforts and the world's capacity for change.

    The new human-crafted Apple Music brand matters in an AI world

    Apple revealed a new Apple Music brand identity built around its Liquid Glass design language, and a behind-the-scenes video shows the work involved: design agency TBWA/Media Arts Lab, producer Fred again.., a crewed set, and a mineral oil tank with a transducer used to turn audio signals into physical ripples against branding printed on transparent panels. The author, generally skeptical of the new design language, found the rebrand notable because of that human-crafted process.

    Panache — RTS Belle Époque pour mobile

    A French-language fork of Battle Drones, released the day before under the Apache 2.0 License, reskins the game as a steampunk real-time strategy title set in Belle Époque France around 1900, complete with airships, steam haulers, armoured Creusot units, automata in kepis and the walking fortress Gargantua. It adds an animated intro and French-flavoured music, and so far the changes are mostly aesthetic rather than gameplay. The game is playable in mobile and browser, and the post links pages comparing the original Battle Drones models with the new Panache designs.

    Ukraine’s drone rescue of wounded soldier puts much touted idea into practice

    Ukraine carried out an unprecedented drone rescue of a wounded soldier from the frontline, at an undisclosed time and place where Russian drones and landmines made a wheeled ground robot impractical, according to The Kyiv Independent. On October 19 Ukraine's Army shared video of the evacuation showing the soldier securing himself in a harness suspended beneath a heavy six-rotor hexacopter before being flown to safety. The operation was revealed days after separate Ukrainian drones designed for casualty evacuation were deployed for frontline testing.
